MANSFIELD: Proverbs 24 speaks of the riches found in a home where the knowledge, wisdom and understanding of Our Lord and Savior dwells. Though Cherry had her share of tangible treasures, photos and mementos, her real treasure was in the promises of the Lord.

A treasure in the Lord’s eye, Cherry is now home as she passed away Thursday, August 17, 2017. She was 71.

She was born November 13, 1945 in Martins Ferry, the daughter of Claude and Daisy (Brown) Wiltshire. On October 7, 1963 she wed Larry E. Brown who preceded her in death in 2012.

Cherry was blessed with a servant’s heart and literally spent her life serving others- Cherry worked as a waitress most of her life. She worked many years at Elby’s Big Boy in Bridgeport and Der Dutchman in Bellville.

She attended The Church of God in Mt. Vernon before illness made it hard to travel. Cherry loved spending time with her only son and his family. She often was there to encourage them at their sporting events. She delighted in making others laugh, but not at the expense of being the spotlight.

In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by her sister-in-law Mary Wiltshire.

Friends may call Monday, August 21, 2017 from 5-8 pm in the Bellville Snyder Funeral Home where the funeral service will be held Tuesday at 11 am. Friends may also call the hour prior to the funeral. Brother Jason Harding will officiate.

The Bellville Snyder Funeral Home is honored to serve Cherry’s family and online condolences may be made by visiting: www.SnyderFuneralHomes.com

I know you and your mom were close. She loved you very much. My prayers

We love you, Troy…your mom was so special. We were coming or going from somewhere one time and stopped at the restaurant for dinner and Lily was SO awful – she was maybe 4 years old. It was embarrassing how horribly she was behaving and then your angel of a mother came to our table and engaged Lily and within seconds Lily was a different child and totally loving your mom. We were in awe of the way she had with kids!! She was one of a kind and, having an only child of our own, we know how much that she loved you. We are here for you, friend.

Cherry was a sweetheart, I have many memories from Elby’s as well. She watched after me like my mother lol She will truly be missed. So sorry for your loss Troy. You were her pride and joy <3 Many prayers to you all.
